Perico Fantasías

Dreamed up by Palop for Editorial Valenciana's beloved Pumby anthology in 1960, Perico Fantasías is a charming slice of Spanish Silver Age comics history. Though the catalog records only fourteen appearances across a tight 1960–1961 window, two of those issues carry genuine key-issue weight — a remarkable ratio that speaks to the character's impact in that vibrant era of Valencia's comic-book scene. Perico keeps lively company throughout Pumby's pages, sharing adventures alongside Pumby himself, Monucho, Becerrín, Caperucita Encarnada, and El Lobo — a wonderfully eclectic cast that made Editorial Valenciana's output such a treasure for collectors of European comics. For anyone exploring the rich, often underappreciated world of mid-century Spanish comics, Perico Fantasías is exactly the kind of hidden gem worth seeking out.
